Tho Old silk nat worn by abraham
Lincoln wheu he left Springfield. bh- !.
for WCshinGtop2 to be inaugure;ri, u
1861, is carefully preserved in this city.
1t is an antique tile now when compared
with he latest Broadway "diCers," ana
it Is but fair to presume that it was by no
means youthful when its owner set out
on that memorable ride to greatness and
renown. hi fortunate possessor of this
hat is Mr.. George Gibson, and it cam.
to him from his father. 1t is a badly
battered and sorrowful looking old
''~stovepipe, with straight, narrow brim,
and full of dents and creases, such as
mi hit be expected in a hat given to mid
night roysterings; but in this case they
are partially the result of honest wear in
years past and careless handling since it
was put aside as q relic.
On the side lining, il the clear, well
known hand Of the great president, is the
autograph, "a. Lincoln" and stamped
in the crown is the usual gilt advertise
ment OF the Springfield halter with
whom ''honest old Abe was wont to
trade. When Mr.. Lincoln arrived in
New York he wore this hat, and its gen,
orally demoralized and rufiled expression
1T no fully comport with the dignity Of
the OCCASION. An enterprising halter,
discovering n splendid opportunity to ad-
vertise his goods, had a fine, stylish hat
made for the president elect, having Sc
cured a contour of his head. Then, as
MIR. Lincoln was driven down Broadway
from the Astor house. his headquarters
during his brief s~ojourn here, the halter
presented the new hat, taking the old one
in exchange. Eventually it passed into
the possession of Mr.. George Gibson's
father, a well known antiquarian and
stained glass artist. For years the hat
reed under a glass receiver in the mu-
attached to the factory of the elder
Gibson, uptown, and has attracted at
tention. Many offers have been made
for its purchase, but Mr.. Gibson prefers
to retain the relic, which carries much Of
the personality of the great president. 1t
should be in the National museum, at
Washington.-New York Times.

The very latest of the numerous schemes
for getting rid of rabbits is the invention
of Mr.. Williams. an Englishman, now
residing in Auckland, New Zealand, who
has contrived a portable apparatus by
means of which, in a single night, he
guarantees that he will trap and carry
of at least 90 per cent. of the rabbits
upon q square mile of land. One of the
great merits claimed for the plan is that
it allows of the rabbits being used for
food, with which end in view q light
freezing apparatus, mounted on wheels,
is provided, so that the bodies of the
rabbits may be frozen and kept in that
condition until they are delivered over to
a shipping company for export to Eng

The method (Bergeon's) has, up to the
present, been used upon about 100 cases
in this city without any untoward effects,
80 far as known, except in one or two in
stances, one of which was due to a leaky
bag and another to incorrect administra-
ton.
1t is, perhaps, too soon to decide posi-.
lively on the therapeutic value of the new
method, but it seems, in the experience in
this city, to have the special quality of
diminishing night sweats and improving
the appetite.
In Bergeon's cases, the trifing expec-
torations of those apparently practically
cured continued to contain bacilli. This
fact may be taken both for an indication
that the immediate danger in phthisis Is
less from the bacilli than from the septic
@mia which they set up, and as an indi-
cation that this protective treatment,
when successful, should not be discon-
tinued until the general healthiness of
the tissues is sufficiently restored to resist
the further development and s~ustenance
of the bacillus Observation-Disclosures

An Enormous Crystal.

1t is well known, OF course, that Amer
lea has long been celebrated the world
over us the home of enormous crystals,
and the prodigious specimens of apatite,
beryl and other minerals have been the
subject of wonderment. But among these
the crystals of spodumene brought to view
by the excavations in the Eta tin mine,
in Pennington county, d. T., are believed
to be without a rival in respect to size.
According to the report made on this
subject by Professor Blake, it appears
that one Of these crystals is thirty-six
feet in length in a straight line, and from
one to three feet in thickness. The cleav-
age is smooth and straight, but the lateral
and terminal planes are described as being
obScure.-New York Sun.

Roman Lunches MOI Popular.

Our demoiselles are giving lunch parties,
each Of which has II distinct color-yellow,
pink, blue or green. At one given the
table was lighted by tapers of yellow wax
in yellow shades, there was n p~rofusion of
yellow tulips, the dinner service was
decked with bowls of yellow ribbon, and
the guests wore more or less yellow. A
Roman lunch was proposed by a classical
damscl, but was found to be rather incon-
venient, especially the custom Of serving
emetics to the guests at the close Of the
third course, that in due time nature
might supply q receptacle for more good
cheer. Such q practice would not find
much favor here.-Washington Cor. Chi

THE HORN SILVER.

it came would never be found
When Mr.. Groesbeck and his asso.
ciates purchased the property and
erected 100000 mill upon it, par
ties were not backward in alleging
that it was all a stock-jobbing bust
ness, and that the ore would never
pay for the mill. Later on, as the
mill turned out $1,000 per day month
after month, these envious individ-
uals said that the ore body was simply
a blow out, and that no vein would
ever be found in depth. Now that
the vein has been found, however,
even they will have to admit that the
Horn Silver is mine worth fully ten
times as much as was paid for it.

THE WALLA WALLA MILL.

IL cannot DC Got Ready Before the

I. N. Sullivan says that he fears he
cannot drop stamps on Walla Walla
ore, on Deer Creek, before the first of
June, if then. The mortars, stamps,
tappets, cams, shafting, ETC., for the
mill are expected Saturday, and if
lumber could be got, the mill might
be dropping stamps by the 18th OF
May; but the scarcity of lumber will
delay matters somewhat.
Mr.. Sullivan will run his mill by
water-power, using 2O-foot oversize,
wheel with sufficient head of water
to give him IS or 40 horse power, and
will endeavor to run as economically
as possible for his own sake as wei
as the country's. He does not expect
to mill as cheaply as at the Plymouth
Consolidated, however, where it costs
only SO cents per ton.

The Ranchers Increasing Their Acreage

Lewis Lavake came in Monday from
his ranch on Camas Prairie. He re-
ports the ranchers in the foothills busy
blowing, those on the fat helping
them by exchanging work. In about
10 days the foothill ranchers will re-
turn the compliment by assisting the
ranchers on the fiat. At present as
many as three or four plows are at
work on the foothill ranches.
The acreage under cultivation this
year will be fully double that of last
year, as the ranchers, confident OF
getting good prices for everything
they raise, and satisfied that the sup
ply OF moisture will be ample, will
cultivate every acre that they possibly
can. The soil anywhere will be in
condition for blowing in about two
weeks.
Several parties of immigrants are
looked for soon; among others, one
from Troutdale, Va, one from South.
western Iowa, and another from
Northwestern Missouri. These par
ties will consist of several families
each, and will come early enough to
get in crop.

is directly on the only road to Camas
Prairie and to Smoky from Wood

ductive. The first year after it was
taken up by w. J. Armstrong, 63
bushels of grain were cut to the acre,
on "sod." The second year five acres
of the same land yielded $50 bushels
of barley, or lO3 bushels per acre!
